A day after Philadelphia Police fatally shot a knife-wielding man in West Philadelphia, protests continued in the city as leaders prepared for more unrest from the incident and ahead of the presidential election.
Protesters gathered in West Philadelphia around 7 p.m. Tuesday and marched to the 18th District police headquarters. Also Tuesday night, the lawyer for the family of Walter Wallace Jr. said the family had called for an ambulance, not police, to get him help with a mental health crisis.
Later Tuesday night, some of the protesters threw rocks, water bottles and other items at responding police officers.
